Today, June 21st, 2022, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-02) spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives to recognize Iowa City’ Ben Kueter.
Mdm. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the accomplishments of an incredible student-athlete from Iowa’s Second District.
Iowa City High School’s Ben Kueter is a local legend in Eastern Iowa. He is a four-sport star for the Little Hawks, dominating in football, wrestling, baseball, and track.
I have recognized Ben on the floor of the House twice already, as he is a dominant wrestler, a three-time state champion, and currently holds a 72-0 record going into his senior year. Recently, Ben not only earned a spot on the Team USA Under 20 National Wrestling Team and will now represent the United States at the World Championships in Bulgaria this summer.
Ben is an outstanding outfielder for City’s baseball team and ran the second leg of the distance medley relay team that took second place at the 2021 Drake Relays. A standout football player, Ben plays both tight end and linebacker.
Last fall, Ben committed to both the football and wrestling programs at the University of Iowa. I look forward to watching been help the Little Hawks win state championships next year and helping our beloved Hawkeyes when he heads down College Street next year.
Good luck Ben, go Little Hawks, and go Hawkeyes!
Thank you, Mdm. Speaker, I yield back my time.
